LONDON : FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 13, 1838. The Tory Lords, as was expected and predicted, last night engrafted their own views on the Municipal Bill for Ireland. Lord LYNDIIURST, as he said, by their express desire ; was their organ on the occasion, and after explaining his and their objects, in a plain clear speech, he moved that only the large towns of Ireland, contained in Schedule A, should be subject to the provision of the Bill. They are Belfast,Clon mel , Cork,Drogheda,Dublin,Galway,Kilke nn y, Limerick, Londonderry, Sligo, and Waterford ; and all those in schedule B, thirty-six in number, and comprising such boroughs as Armagh, Carrickfurgus, Portarlington, Wexford, &c. Vic., are to be excluded from the operation of the Bill. If, however, the majority of the inhabitants of any one of those towns, who would be entitled to vote under this Bill, if in operation, shall desire to be in corporated, and make an application within a limited time, the CROWN may be at liberty to grant them a charter. This amendment, if carried through the Commons, will, probably, enable the old Orange oorporators, together with the Sovereigns of these 36 towns, to retain them as at present ; for the high franchise which was subsequently introduced, will always prevent these towns from asking for the Bill, and for them the Municipal Act will be .of no avail whatever. Only the eleven large towns mentioned will be subject to its provisions, and as several of them, such as Cork, Limerick, and Kilkenny, have already emancipated themselves, the Bill, as modified by the Tories, becomes of very triffiing importance. The small towns ex cluded from its operation are their strongholds and the very homes of corruption, and these the Tories will pre serve untouched and unaltered. This amendment their Lordships agreed to it is understood without a division. Their next amendment, to raise the franchise up to in habiting or renting a house of the bona fide value of 101. was resisted by Lord MELBOURNE, but without success. He was defeated by 96 to 36, and then declared, as the sense of their Lordships was so clearly pronounced, that he would not offer any further opposition. The Bill accordingly went through a Committee. Lord LYND.• litlisT's amendments and proposed amendments were ordered to be printed, and they are all to be taken into con sideration on the bringing up of the report. A 101. fran chise, while the Bill is limited to eleven towns, renders it of about the smallest conceivable importance. It is another nice little bit of mockery for the hungry Aliens, and it would be more honourable to the Tories, more consistent with their general character, and more worthy of those prin ciples of coercion on which they endeavour to govern the world, if they would follow the consistent opinion of Lord Color, and do away with Corporations altogether, vest ing the government of the towns, as in Prussia and in France. in the Executive. It will be remembered that these Tory amendments were both submitted to the House of Commons and were both rejected, one without a division, and one after a division. The Tory Lords then avow their intention to thwart and oppose the House of Commons. They do it deliberately, having planned their schemes beforehand, as Lord LYND HURT states, and only go through the form in the House of Lords of carrying them into execution. Will the Mi nisters and the House of Commons accept the Tory insult and the Tory Bill ? We believ e they will. The Ministers have already suggested an 81. franchise to their friends. Lord MELBOURNE, it is understood, made a similar suggestion in the House of Lords last night. If we do not mistake, they have already intimated that they do not object very strongly to the 101. franchise for the large towns, and, therefore, now that Schedule B is struck out of the Bill, they will never stop it for the difference between an eight-pound and a ten-pound franchise. The Municipal Corporation Bill for Ireland will at length pass, and what its value will be after three years' painful gestation, we have already described. The two Houses of Parliament number somewhere chant 1,000 Members in all ; and for the labours of such a mighty mass of the cleverest men in the country, at the end of three years to terminate in such an abortion, is as lamentable an instance of the weakness and folly of human nature as has of late fallen under our cognizance. A single wrong-headed speculatist, who sets about squaring the circle or finding perpetual motion, seldom labours for three years without blundering on some thing which either he or some other men turn to advantage, but the labours of the Legislature seem only to end in wasting paper, printers' labour, and printers' ink. The Legislature, however, is quite right to get rid of the Irish question on almost any terms. The whole Empire is heartily sick of it, and there; are so many other subjects, the discussion of which it prevents, that it cannot be renewed in another Session. Now, the two Houses of Parliament must dis pose of it to settle it is quite another matter. The con venience of parties, as well as the public weariness, require that it should be put out of sight. One act of legis lation can no mere be continually performed in St. Stephens, d draw an audience, than one drama he invariably and P a erpetually repeated at Drury-lane. Let it then be put aside as the Tory Lords will ; and the Liberals miy rely in this case, as in others, on the existing spirit of the people, whatever it may be, working the law in its own sen i : lt . It is not the dead letter of an Act of Parliament, t the living spirit which works through it, that constitutes th e freedom or the slavery of mankind. We would only venture on one remark. This Bill and the other Bills for se ttli n g the Irish questions are obviously compromises. They are passed for t he convenience of political parties, no t because any man on either side says they are just and true, and what ought to be the law. In argument both sides reprobate them, and neither will be bound by w h a t i s mere present convenience when i t finds itself strong enough to into effect. For laws to be per carry its own just *wit ~// / maactt, respected, they mini., not be tila mere expressitAl ti the convenient compromise*. The coal monopoly Vlas incidentally brought under the notice of the House of Commons yester,la eftk* neoeb but though it was properly PtiBtticalica Mr; WARBURTON and others as a most scandalous mono poly, the attempt made to abate it by Lord Gn,llx- VILLE SOMERSET met with no support. The City of London, according to Mr. LABOUCHERE, has a right to levy a tax of lad. on every ton of coal honsumed within a certain distance of St. Pckul ' s ; and the City has graciously consented to allow a drawback on all tilt coals exported or consumed in steamers. Muniticent City ! It Continues to take JUL from the ton when coal is consumed 1 4 v• flt s. .` ponr, but when it is used by the rich canit4.V‘ for the pnrposes of prost, the City abates its claim. There are no hard-working artizans in the Common Council, or at the Board of Aldermen ; that there are no owners or part owners of steam-ships, it would be a mistake to 'aver. Mr. LABOUCHERE says the City has a right ; but have not the poor a right to keep their own money, in stead of the City of London taking it ? And why does the legislator bestow the right on the rich City ? To talk of the City's right to tax the people, reminds us a the celebrated parable by which the Prophet instructed DAVID ; but there is now no prophet to say to Mr. LA soucHEr.E and the Legislature who have done the wrong, " Thou art the man !" By the last accounts from Chili, it appears that the Go vernment have refused to ratify the treaty of peace between that country and Peru, and that preparations are making on both sides for a renewal of the war, thereby wasting, for the factious and selfish interests of a few individuals, re sources which ought to go to the payment of just debts due to British subjects. With the exception of Brazil, all the South American States are in nearly the same condi tion, and evince the same disposition towards those who furnished them with the means of establishing their inde pendence. Persons well acquainted with the resources of these unprincipled Governments state, that they have am ple means to make good their engagements, and that if measures are not adopted to compel them to be just, they will never pay a penny of either the principal or inte rest. Now though the people of this country lent them the money, in their usual reckless manner, we see no reason why they should not have the protection of the Government, as well as British merchants or settlers in those countries, when they are plundered either by mobs or military chiefs. In the case of Spain her creditors submit patiently, though every engagement with them has been broken, because it is well known she is insolvent, and cannot raise in any way a few millions to finish the war ; but as regards Chili, Peru, and even Alexico, no such reasons exist. All that is want ing there is the will. They never will pay till they are com pelled, and the interference of our Government is as much called for as that of the French, which claims compensa tion—and will obtain it too—for robberies committed on French subjects. A demonstration on the part of our Go vernment would in all probabiiity settle the question. All these States have a vast extent of sea-coast—they would soon be at the mercy of British cruisers—and find it more convenient to settle the account than enter into a contest with England. England has all along been their best friend. Her interference alone enabled them to establish their national independence ; and the return they have made would deprive of all sympathy nations which have exhibited such base ingratitude. Such a step too would be productive of peace. If they were obliged to pay their just debts, they would find more difficulty in procuring means to carry on this unnatural and petty warfare with one another. The Paris Journals of Wednesday bring the sentence pronounced by the Chamber •f Peers upon Lieutenant LAITY, for the publication of the Strasburg pamphlet, which is that he be incarcerated fur five years, remain for life under the surveillance of the police, and pay a fine of 10,000 francs, besides all the expenses of the trial. In the event of the fine and costs not being paid, the imprison ment is extended to six years ; and in the meantime the pamphlet is suppressed, and all existing copies of it ordered to be destroyed. It is to be observed that monstrous as is this sentence, it is the mildest the Court of Peers is em powered to pronounce—a proof that in its judicial capacity it is a mere engine of wanton tyranny. The Constitutionnel states that Marshal SOULT has written to his friends in Paris, informing them of the high gratification he derived from the very flattering reception he met with in London. With the true adroitness of a courtier, the Marshal attributes this to the high estimation in which the King of the FRENCH is held in this country. Will the Duke DE NEMOURS confirm the complimentary testimony of the veteran Marshal ? But enough has been written on a topic which it were as well to pass over in silence. The following extract from a letter from Jassy, of the 22. d ult., is quoted by the Commerce : " Prince Stourdza, the Hospodar of Moldavia, has declared his desire of abdicating his Sovereignty, the Emperor of Russia having announced to him his intention of granting to him and to his descendants on that condition, the confiscated property of Prince Adam Czartoryski in Po dolia, and also of conferring on him the dignity of a Russian senator. In the event of this resignation taking place, the office of Hospodar of Moldavia will be granted to General Katardgi, a Moldavian by birth, and who from his earliest youth has been in the service of Russia, and entirely devoted to the Emperor Nicholas." If the above statement be correct, it involves considera tions which ought to be carefully inquired into by the Ca binets of England and France. Depend upon it the CZAR is preparing for the perpetration of some imperial piece of villainy in the event of a rupture between MICIIEMET ALI and the Porte. When the eyes of Europe will be directed one way his myrmidons will be busy in another, unless pre cautionary measures are adopted on a scale sufficiently ex tensive to cripple his utmost exertions. In the mean time advices from Odessa announce that the Russian fleet in the Black Sea is increased—that several thou sands of picked soldiers are ready to embark at Se bastopol—and that the calibre of the guns and the selection of the materiel prove that this immense force is not intended to act against the Circassians. Several Rus sian men-of-war are at present cruising at the very entrance of the Bosphorus. Letters from San Sebastian of the sth instant, announce that ESPARTERO was then closely besieging Estella, the head quarters, or rather capital of the Pretender. Th e report of the capture of the town was hourly expected to reach San Sebastian. Singular enough, this statement is not confirmed by the letters from Bayonne of the 7th, which merely state that ESPARTERO was at Miranda, whence it was suppos - !d be would proceed to Logrono. " BnussEcs, Jirtv 11.—The average prices of Wheat and Rye, in the week ending July 7th, were as follows :—Wheat 21f. 30c. ; Rye, 129 c. per Itectoclitre. Wheat, therefore, remains exempt from import duty while that of Rye is still 21 f. 50c. per 1,000 kilogrammes. The following letter written from Warsaw July 2, before the arrival of the Emperor Nicholas, may give a just idea of the degree of confi dence with which he appears before his Polish subjects. WARSAW, JUNE 28.—We are in daily expectation of the arrival of Nicholas. Field Marshal Paskewitsch has given orders to General Rosa nictaki, the chief of the secret police of Poland, to concert with General Storassnski, the Governor of Warsaw, police measures to be adopted during the short stay which the Emperor will make in our capital. A swarm of secret agents is in the field to watch all the actions of the inhabitants. No person is suffered to enter or leave Warsaw sinless he is furnished with a regular passport--even the country people of the environs who come to the markets at Warsaw are required to have passports. In our streets nothing is seen but Russian soldiers. Behind the bairier of Monkatof there is a camp of twelve regiments of horse artillery, a division of six regiments of in fantry is in the citadel and near it. Twelve regiments of cavalry arc stationed at intervals from the village of Blonie to that of Vilanof. The garrison of IVarsaw, which was already so strong, has been augmented by four regiments of infantry of the Guard. Such are the preparations made for the reception of the Emperor Nicholas. Instead of saying that he comes to visit a people sui ject to his sceptre, one would rather be. lieve that he comes to crttsh it.—Le Commerce. IitENCH FUND:3. —Paetz;, JULY 11. Five per Cents..

Walkinshaw, Deputy Chairman of the East India Docks ; Joseph Guilt, Cloud Neilson, John Thacker, Simon Knight ( Superintendent ; Sr John Rennie and George Rennie, Esq., Engineers of the Docks. His Excellency and suite closely inspected the warehouses, the rum vaults, the locks, and every thing worthy of observa tion. He was particularly pleased with the powerful and in genious machinery of the mahogany shed, comprising a rail way in its roof, and continually expressed his admiration at the comprehensiveness of the arrangements, the extent of the buildings, and the superior style In which every thing was got up. The application of steam power in maintaining a uni form water level throughout particularly atttaeted his atten tion. Nothing seemed to escape him, and his inquiries through Mr. Manby were incessant. Ile seemed to look to that gen lcman for an interpretation of every thing that passed around him. The curiosity of the Marshal upon the applications of science and practical engineering was insatiate; but either from his own palytechnic experience, or from the rapid in terpretations, for 'Well he turned every moment to Mr. , Manby, he seemed at once to enter into, and appreciate, every thing with a completeness and satisfaction which Foreigners, ignorant of our language, seldom exhibit in England. Proceeding thence to inspect the East India Docks, the General Steam Navigation Company claimed the honour of __. . . escorting the Marshal and his suite and the Directors in transit u. The whole party was received on board the Scotch steamer, Clarence, the splendid cabin of which presented an unexpected and most beautiful appearance. The tables were profusely covered with wines of every description, pines and fruit of the choicest sort. The Marshal was received by Captain Do ran, Mr. Brocklebank, Mr. Stewart, Mr. Hamilton (the Company's Agent in Edinburgh,) and the Captain of the Clarence. They paid the Marshal every attention. After the whole of the company had entered the cabin, which, in addi tion to, its own ornaments, was festooned with wreaths of flowers in the most tasteful manner, Captain DoaaN begged to propose the health cf his Ma jesty the King of the French, and of his illustrious repre sentative, the Marshal Soult, Duke of Dalmatia, and to ex press the sense he, in common with all Englishmen, enter tained of the high honour conferred upon them by the King of the French selecting the first General of the Continent to be his representative at our Court on the recent interesting occasion. Ho need not say how highly the English, as a brave nation, appreciated the valour and transcendent military glory of Marshal Soult. The brave must necessarity be friends. Whilst good feeling existed between England and France, it would be a guarantee for the peace of the world; and knowing the mutual happiness that ensued from the inter change of kindly feeling and useful commerce, most ardently did he wish that the general peace which arose from such union might be long continued with every blessing naturally attend ant thereon.—( Cheers.) The toast was enthusiastically re ceived with three times three. Marshal SOMT, who was received with renewed cheering, expressed his sincere :pleasure at the very flattering recep tion he had met with in the British nation ; most cordially did he join in the philanthropic sentiments just uttered by the worthy captain, and he should be delighted in promoting to the utmost of his ability a peace existing under such auspi cious circumstrnces, feeling, as he did, how much the happi ness of both countries depended thereon. He begged to drink the health of Captain Doran and the Gentlemen pre sent.—( Loud cheers.) The Marshal then proceeded to view the iron steam-boat, Rainbow, and was no less struck by the symmetry of her ap pearance than with the great capabilities which she afforded for steam navigation in shallow water, where other vessels of half her size would run aground. The length of the Rainbow, from stem to taffrail, 198 ft. ; breadth of beam, 25ft. ; extreme breadth, 49 ft. ; depth, 123- ft. ; power of engines, 180 horses ; diameter of cylinders, 503- inches ; length of stroke, 43- feet ; diameter of pa.ddle wheels, 223- feet. Altogether the Duke expressed himself quite astonished at the magnificent ar rangements in our docks—their capacity, elegance, and im- mensity. It is very creditable to the management of the General Steam Navigation Company that though they were apparently taken by surprise (true sailors are never taken aback) by the suddenness of the visit, yet they had every thing in hospitable order, and great good welcome. The party then proceeded to view the East Indian Docks, where the Marshal's attention was particularly at tracted by the noble 1,200 ton vessels lying there. Subse quently the party proceeded to Lovegrove's Tavern, where,' by the orders of the United East and West India Dock Com panies, he had prepared the most varied and sumptuous de- Jeuner a la fourchette that his skill could compass or the season afford, and of which we shall only further say, en parenthese, that the Marshal seemed to find his white bate a very supe rior and interesting object of natural history. In conclusion his Excellency proposed " The Health of the Chairman (Mr. Hibbert) and Prosperity to the United East and West India Dock Cotnpanies."—( Received with three times three.) Mr. HIBBERT returned thanks in a speech replete with the happiest anticipations of good effect to arise from the social and improving intercourse, of which his Excellency had set such an admirable example, and which all the enlightened spirits of England and France would be delighted to follow and profit by. In return he begged leave to propose " The health of Louis Philippe, King of the French." (This toast was received and drank with all the honours.) After which—. Marshal SOULT rose and returned thanks in the following words : " J'eprove une profonde impression en repondat au toast que vient de porter M. le President, et je suis vivement pc netre des sentiments qu'il a manifeste. Je dois d'abord re rnercier l'honourable assemblee de la Sante qu'elle vient de porter au Roi des Francais. Je suis heureux que cette oc casion se presente pour exprimer ici mes vceux les plus ardcnts pour que les rapports qui existent entre la France et l'Angle terre se reserrent de plus en plus, qu'il deviennent de jour en jour plus intimes, et que, par cette union, la paix du monde foit assuree, car je le dis hautement, l'union de la France et de l'Angleterre garantit a jamais la paix et la pro sperite generates. Ces sentiments que je professe depuis long temps sont devenns une conviction encore plus profonde, pour moi, depuis que, venu a Londre dans une occasion so lemnelle, j'ai vu de plus pros un noble peuple, dont les gene reuses manifestations m'ont revele la grandeur mieux encore que cet immense developpement de richcsses qui est en ce mo ment sous mes ycux. L'aceueil quo j'en ai recu et que je recois de vous, Mcstieurs, est a jamais grave dans mon cceur, et je remcrcic d' honneur M. le President des nouveaux temoignagcs qu'il vient de me'en don nor." In conclusion the Marshal gave the following toast with an enthusiasm which produced a lively effect:— " A. S. M. la Reine Victoria !—Puisse son regne etre heureux, plein de gloire, et de la plus longue duree 1 Puisse Parnitie at la bonne intelligence qui existent entre nos deux nations, la France et l'Angleterre, s'affirmir de plus en plus et devenir perpetuelles 1 Ces veeux sont eeux de la France enticre. *Palma a penser gulls sont aussi partages par le people Anglais. L'accueil qu'il m'a fait dans ses circon stances solemnelles m'cn est le sur garant ; j'en emportcrai l'impressions la plus vivo et la plus durable ." The toast was drunk with loud cheers. The CHAIRMAN then proposed the health of the Marquis de Dalmatia, the Marshal de Mornay; and the family of _his Ex cellency, to which both the gentlemen replied in French with much animation, the latter particularly alluding to the course he had always, followed in the Chamber of Deputies of amity with Great Britain. At a quarter past four his Excellency (who had an appoint ment with Lord Palmerston) was obliged to return, and re embarked in the Hardy steamer, accompanied by his friends and the secretary, Mr. Henry Longlands, whose excelleet arrangements for facilitating the progress of the inspection were univt rsally admired. The M A rshal, on his return up the River, was again loudly greeted from the vessels as he passed along, and by an admiring crowd who awaited his return at _ Whiichall. VISIT OF THE FOREIGN AMBASSADORS TO TEIE DOCKS. Yesterday the London Docks presented a scene of unusual L i n consequence of the visit of several of bustle and gaiety, the Foreign Ambassadors and others who had been invited to inspect that extensive commercial establishment. Among were the Duke de Palmella and suite ; the the company Chevalier d'Aguilar, the Spanish Envoy ; Prince Schwar zenberg,, and a ttendants ; M. Dodd!, the Dutch Minister ; Baron-de Cetto, the Bavarian Envoy ;M. Tricoupi, Greece ; Baron d'Omptcda, Hanover; Count St. Martin d'Aglie; Baron R. de Gersdorff, Saxony ; Count Mendelssohn, ' Wirtemberg ; together with several other Noblemen and Gent l emen . They were received at the west gate by the Chairman and Directors of the London D o ck Company, who paid every attention to their illustrious guest s . Af ter a short stay at the Supermtendent's office, the distinguished foreigners were conduCted over the immense establishment, v i s iting in succession the drug, cinnamon, tea, and silk warehouses. They afterwards visited the long range of wine vaults, and expressed astonishment at the great extent of those subterranean apartments. The cigar and tobacco warehouses were also inspected. After remaining for two hours in the dock, the foreign noblemen and gentlemen proceeded to the residence of Mr. Downie, the superintendent of the dock, on th e pier head at Wapping, where they partook of a de)eunei a la.fourchette, provided by the Directors, to whom the visi tors expressed their high gratification of the 'tanner in which the business of the dock was conducted, and the delight they had experienced by the inspection of the vast concern, and the accommodasion it afforded to the trade of this great commercial metropolis. The shipping in the dock were gaily dressed out with the colours of all nations ; the union jack was hoisted at each of the dock entrances; and every mark of respect was paid to the distinguished guests, who appeared deeply impressed with the magnitude of the trade of the port of London, of which their visit to the London Docks enabled them to obtain some idea. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. (THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. The Srcatta took the Chair at Twelve o'clock. INDIA ,STA itIaSHIP COMPANY. On the motion of Captain WOOD ? the report of the Coar.mittee on the /nal?* Steamship Com; , any Bill was further considered. IDOLATRY IN INDIA. Mr. BROTHEIITOII presented a petition from Salford, praying for the abolition of idolatrous praCtiet's in India. Mr. BAINES presented a petition agroad to at an unanimous meet ing in &Os,' and signed by 7,900 persons, MI the same 'subject. The petitioners atata4 that they had heard tliat idolatrous worship in India was cutifitenaneed by the authorities lat that eoantry, and particularly that a rellame was derived by the tact India Crarepany from the Pilgrim Tax. They preyed that the tax might entirely cease. They also stated that there was net any occasion to con tinue any kind of interference, or countenance to this kind of idolatrous worship, and that the Coinpany sent out orders as early as 1833 to pot an CIA to these abuses, but that they still continued. The petitioners prayed that such measures might be taken as would cffretually induce the Board of Directors and Companies of the Board of Cuntroul to in teiptisk th 6 fit/Bib:By of the Government for the remedy of these abuses. Mr. WALtilitt presented two petitions from places in Scotland praying tor a reduction Of the rates of postage. Mr. LANGDALE presented a petition from Dublin against the pre sent system of national education in Ireland, but he did not concur in its prayer. Mr. W. CAMPBELL moved that the Fictitious Votes (Scotland) committee have leave to report to the House.—Agreed to. Mr. LITTON presented a petition from the Association for the Sup . pression of Vier, praying for a more liberal distribution of the Holy Seriptuies among the people ; also a petition from the licensed distillers and brewers of Coleraine praying for protection. Mr. SLANEY gave notice that early next Session he shouldbring in a Bill for the Establishment of Public Walks. Mr. R. PALMER begged to laquire when it was proposed to take the Lords' amendments to the Irish Poor-law Bill into consideration, as be was anxiotta to move for a copy of the letter, dated Bth January, ad. dressed by the root-law Couimissioners to their Assistant Commis. sioners, Lord JOHN RUSSELL could not fix a day; but he might mention that the communication alluded to was a private and confidential one, and would not be produc.d any more than any other private comnouni. cation. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sut—l observed in your paper of Wednesday a letter signed A. Z., expressing the failure of the plan of Mr. Walker for the carrying on of the operations of the Thames Tunnel. I perfectly agree with A. Z. when he states in the commence ment of his communication that 10,0001. would be much under the sum required for the completion of that noble work, for, as he justly remarks, "if he merely means to form lateral supporters or embankments of protection while the work is proceeding underneath, it would double that sum, and then be a failure." Sir, with respect to the words which immediately follow this part of the creditable letter of A. Z., I will ob serve that I (from my occupation during forty-five years as a miner in the county of Cornwall) am enabled to give some valuable information on the subject. I am proud to say that at the first eruption of the Tunnel, the means which I proposed wore successful in preventing further damage. And I should be obliged for the insertion of this brief notice ; and glad to have an interview with A. Z , if he will call upon me as un dersigned. if not, I will visit him, although at considerable inconvenience to myself, as I am engaged during my stay in London at this end of the town. _ Yours obediently, JOSEPH ODGERS. 15, St. Mary-axe. EAST INDIA-HOUSE.-(THIS DAY.] A Special General Court of Proprietors of East India Stock, was help this day at the Company's House in Leadenhall street, to take into con. sideration a Bill now before Parliament, entitled " An Act for the Pro tection of Natives of her Majesty's Territories in the East Indies, con tracting for labour to be performed without the said Territories, and for regulating their passage by sea." Sir JAMES Law LusnieruroN, in the Chair.—The Minutes of the last Court were read and confirmed. A minute of the proceedings at the last Court of Directors was then read, in which the Directors expressed their regret, that after giving the subject all due consideration, they felt that they could not withhold their concurrence to the MIL The Minutes stated at great length the reasons which had induced the Court of Directors to come to the above decision, and concluded by Sir Charles Forbes stating that they would endeavour to procure the insertion of a clause in the Bill, requiring that a pecu niary deposit should be required as a security for the due return of the labourers, transported to the West Indies or other places. Sir CHARLES Fosters then rose, and inquired in what stage the Bill was at present? The CHAIRMAN replied, that the second reading was fixed fcr this evening. Sir CHARLES FormEs then rose to oppose the resolution of the Court of Directors, and was addressing the Court, when our reporter left. MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY (THIS DAY), TWELVE O'CLOCK.

GRAHAM wishe I to ask the Under Secretary for the Colo. nics, whether it was his intention to move the further progress of of the East India Labourers' Bill that day—and as he was on his legs, he begged to ask whether any information had been received a t the Colonial Office with respect to the arrival of Hill Coolies in the West Indies ?---if so, what was the number, and was the Colonial Office in possession of any information with respect to the tonnage of the vessels in which they were transported. Sir G. GREY said it was not his intention to move the second read ing of the East India Labourers' Bill that day, as it contained some provisions which were liable to much objection and required considera tion. The Government were not in possession of any information with respect en the arrival of the Hill Coolies at Demerara. He had seen an account of the grrival of three ships in the Newspapers, but he had been infoimed by a gentleman to whom some of them had been assigned that only two ships had arriVect Whenever the Government received any information, there would be no Objection to its being produced. Sir R. PEEL inquired whether there ;!as any Bill before the House, that would enable the House to discuss the vt - . l iole question relating to the importation of Hill Coolies ? Sir GEO. GREY—Yes; the East India Labourers' Bill. COAST GUARD—GROSS OUTRAGE. Sir It. PEEL wished to draw the attention of the Noble Lord op posite to an account in the Papers of to.day of some proceedings that had taken place yesterday before the Lord Mayor, from which it ap peared that certain officers of the Custom.house had offered great vio. lence to a gentleman while sailing in his yacht; and that he had on se veral occasions before been similarly insulted. He must say a greater outrage he had never heard of, and he should like to know if the state. merits were true. Lord JOHN RUSSELL had not seen any account of it, but would direct his attention to the subject. MAILS BY RAILWAYS BILL. On the motion of Mr. LABOUCHERE, the Mails by Railways Bill went through Committee, pro forma, and was ordered to be taken into consideration on Monday next. PRISONS BILL. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said he wished to have this Bill committed, as he was desirous of introducing certain clauses and amendments. Lord ASHLEY said he wished to speak to that motion. He thought he could show good cause why another order of the day should betaken inpreference to the order of supply, which would give him a legitimate opportunity of bringing forward a case which the Noble Lord had so pertinaciously refused to hear. He saw the Noble Lord shook his head, but he would ask how was it that the Government was in strumental in counting out the House yesterday, by re. ducing the numbers below the legitimate amount, by which he was deprived of the opportunity of laying before the House and the country, the most grevious case and the most abominable system that had ever prevailed in any civilised nation. The Noble Lord opposite knew well that for two years he (Lord Ashley) had been deluded on the subject. On the 22d of June he had hoped he might be able at any rate to state the case of so large a number of aggrieved persons. He made the attempt, and the Noble Lord had tri umphed by a majority of eight. Yesterday was the day he had hoped to have been able to bring it on. The House met by adjournment at six o'clock, but no sooner had it met than it was proposed that the House should be counted out.—(Hear.) Immediately upon that notice being given one of the Lords of the Treasury, the Hon. Member for Haddington (Mr. R. Steuart) went out of the House. Other Members of the Government went into the outer lobby. Mr. FOX MAULE—WiII the Noble Lord name those Members ? Lord ASHLEY himself saw the Hon. Member for Haddington go into the lobby, and he saw the person go with him the Hon. Member for Durham, himself a very large millowner, and one of those who, by the statement he (Lord Aililey) should have made, would have at least been put upon his defence. In that way the House was counted out, and so speedily was it done, that although there were several gentlemen at the bar of the House of Lords, who agreed with him on this matter, they could not get back to the House before it was counted out. Even then, with the Speaker in the Chair, there were thirty.seven present. He should have been very glad to have brought the motion on in a plain and legitimate way i but as bn could nut do that, he must bring it on in a way that might appear (unintentional on his part) to impede the business of the country. Did the Noble Lord think that this was a question of so little importance that he might on one occa sion resort to privilege, and on another resort to trickery?— (Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") The Houle might think that the person who brought this question before the House was a very despicable person—(No, no.)—but he must be allowed to say the question was of prominent importance, and of such incree'sjPg magni tude, that if the attention of the Government were not given to its he would tell the Noble Lord the Secretary for the Home Department, that however burthensome he might find that office at present, it would be a million times more burthensome.— (Hear, hear.) He was not asking the House to affirm any new principle; he was merely anxious to lay before the House of Commons a condition of things un paralleled in the history of this mercantile nation.—(Hear, hear.) He wanted to know whether they would leave the law in such a state that it must be daily violated ? And not only so, but whether they would positively refuse to hear any statement of the condition of that law, or of the persons who were aggrieved by it ? It might be inconsistent far him to move the order of supply before any other, simply that it might be rejected ; but if the motion for supply should be brought forward to day, he would move his resolution by way of amendment ; if, however, it should be brought forward so late as not to afford him time to make his statement, then he would move that the supply be adjourned till Monday next. It was in vain to appeal to the Government, and he should therefore appeal to the House to give him its support, for he was fully determined that his statement should be laid before the Commons of England, in order that he might obtain a full and final answer to this great and crying evil —(Cheering.) Mr. R. STEUART said, as the Noble Lv d had pointedly alluded to him, he wished to say a few words in explanation so far as regarded himself. It was not from any previous communication with any one that lie had left the House, and so far from this being the case, the Un der• secretary of State expressed to him his regret that the House had been counted out. As regarded himself individually, he could only say that having come to the House just before the motion made by the Hon. Member for Kilkenny, be had no opportunity of doing anything which could tend to thin the House. So far from going into the lobby with the Hon. Member for Durham, lie never saw that lion. Member, and the Noble Lord was therefore completely mistaken.— (Cheers.) Whatever blame might attach to himself individually, none whatever attached to Government on the subject —(Cheers.) Lord J. RUSSELL would say nothing on the subject on which the Noble Lord had spoken, not being present at the time, but lie came down a few minutes after, with the view of attending the motion o: the Noble Lord. Nothing would induce him to say that the Noble Lord was actuated by a desire to embarrass the Government, because he was aware, from the interest the Noble Lord had taken in the question, the motives by which he was actuated were the 'nest honourable.—(Hear, hear.) But yet, in his great anxiety, lie was very apt to overlook what were the actual facts of the ease. He stated that he had been prevented by the Government, one way or other, from stating the case with regard to the factory children. The Noble Lord must admit, that if he (Lord J. Russell) were wrong in proposing that the Factory Bill should be dropped, he himself proposed that it should be taken in preference to the Tithe Bill, and that the House then decided against him by a majority of eight. The Noble Lord was entire'y wrong in sup;,osing that the Govern. ment had any particular wish to evade the question. If he had understor d from the Noble Lord that be was desirous to have the question takee into consideration, he would have cAsidered whether it might not have been brought on, putting aside some other order of the day ; but win n he put his question he had not expressed any particular desire that the Bill should be brought on. But knowing the opposition which was growing up to the Bill, it did appear to him that while there was great anxiety in the House to propose a 13111, that its discussion would be the revival of a questiAn— which would require considerable time for deli. beratinn. "Trtir"Nnble Lord had it in Its power, when the question of Supply was moved, to make any statement with regard to the Factory question i but he (Lord J. llubsell) must say, from what he had heard on both side, of the House, that it was improper that any excitement should be taised at the present moment. If, however, the Noble Lord took a different view of the matter, it was competent for him to bring on his motion. As to the hope of introducing any Bill with regard to Factories, of which there should not be some violation, it appeared to him as chimerical a helm as that any Bill with regard to the revenue would, with our present high rate oftluties,prevent sm uegling altogether. At the same time he would observe that according to the last report cf the inspectors it appeared that the law was now more generally observed than it had hitherto beets. Mr. WALLACE having been present when the House was counted out yesterday, and acquainted with all the circumstances, was desirous that no erroneous impression contrary to the facts should be made there or elsewhere. Ile begged to say, in the first place, that he believed his Hon. Friend the Member for Falkirk had consulted with no person when lie moved that the House be counted, and it so happened that when he was passing by his'friend the Member for Haddington he had heard him say that he had done exceedingly wrong in counting out the House, as the Noble Lord who had a motion to bring forward would pi obebly enlarge upon the subject under irritated feelings, Mr. LABOUCHERE being one cf the few Members of the Govern ment who were present, begged to assure the Noble Lord that !bete was no concert or formed plan among them to get rid of the question by :ounting out the House. He was quite sure when he made that state ment that the Noble Lord would give him credit for its accuracy.— (Cries of " Hear, hear," from Lord Ashley.) If any witness were necessary he would appeal to the Speaker, who when the House was adjourned expressed his regret that the , House had not pro ceeded to business, as it would ha ve the effect of prolonging the sittings of the House, and he (Mr. Labouchere) had concurred i n th at opinion. He believed the counting out of the House arose merely from the circumstance of many Members being fatigued from having sat from twelve to four in the afternoon, and objecting to a late sitting after wards.—(Hear, hear.) ~ ltfr. GIBBON thought it would be judicious to postpone th e mot i on, as the last report of inspectors , up on which it was fonnded, had not yet been printed. Mr. SLANEY had been a fellow sufferer with the Noble Lord, but he did not complain of it, as he believed the counting out arose incidentally, and without any design. Lord ASHLEY observed that the Noble Lord had taunted him with having evinced much anxiety on the subject, but he felt very re. luctant at all times to trespass longer than was absolutely necessary on the time of the House. Had be (Lord Ashley) gone into any extra. neous matter the Noble Lord would have been the Ant to call him to I ceder, and it would be in the recollection of the House that he had Olt questions to the Noble Lord usque ad nauseous on ate 01 tiect% I ,.` , Pr 4 few words from Mr. F. MAU LE the conversatiux dropped. - PRISONS BILL. The House then went into Committee on the FiiSoll% BM, Air. BERNAL in the chair. Clauses 1 and 2 were agreed to without observation, On clause 3 being read, clauses up to 6 were agreed to. On clause S being proposed, Lord SANDON moved as an amendment that the appointment on' the officers of the jails be in the " Town Councils" in place of the• Justices. After some conversation the clause was postponed. Cause 9 was agreed to without amendment. After a desultory discussion, in which Lord G. Somerset, Mr. Hawes, Mr. Fox Motile, and Lord J. Russell took part, Clauses up to 9 were agreed to. On clause 10 being read, which provided for the spiritual instruction of the prisoners, Mr. _LANGDALE said it would be necessary to make some arrange ment by which the prisoners professing the Roman Catholic religion Should receive son - .e spiritual instruction, and he would therefore move an ariMrtSretent to the cnct that where the average number of prisoners professing a religion differing from that Of the Established Church shall amount to fifty in the ensuing year, it shall and may be lawful for the person having the appointment of Chaplains to appoint a Chaplain professing that religion. • Mr. GIBSON thotigizt the lion. Member would not receive the support of his friends on the other side of the souse, inasmuch as few persons would be found to discharge the duties of the office of chaplain without a salary. Mr. FOX MAULE did not think the proposition' .of the Hen. Member at all unreasonable Where the number of pr lan.aers of any persuasion was so large as 50, it would be in his view oxytdient to have a chaplain appointed with a salary. ' Sir C. KNIGHTLEY said if the principle of the HonouraL4o Mem ber was carried out, they would soon have as many clergymen ad rhaP lains.—(Hear, and a laugh.) Mr. O'CONNELL would go so far with the Honourable Barc net as to agree with him that where there were fifty prisoners of any per suasi,m they should have a clergyman of their own persuasion. he question was not one of pecuniary amount, but of a great moral obli gation, and he hoped it would receive the support of the House. They had three classes of Chaplains in the jails of Ireland ; one for the Established Church, one fur the Roman Catholics, and o;ie for the Dis senters, and he hoped the same principle would be acted upon in the prisons of England.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. LUC AS—Although he frequently differed with the Iron. and Learned Member for Dublin, he felt much pleasure in agreeing' with him on the present occasion.=(Cheers.) He had visited a prison in England lately, and, ou enquiry of the Governor, he had astertait,ed that the prisonert of all persuasions, although they protested against it, were compelled to attend the public worship of the Established Church. Now that was a state of things which he thought the li..ause would not consent to, and the sooner an alteration was made the Bette.'. Mr. O'CONNELL would merely say, that whenever he had the misfortune to differ from the Hon. Member he did so with great regret. Mr. GLADSTONE said if a chaplain were allowed for fifty persons, there could be no objection to providing one for a smaller number. That was an objection to the form of the motion. He, however, objected to it on principle, and thought that a question of so much importa.nee ought not to have been brought forward without notice, as it was alto gether new in legislation. Mr. LANGDALEsaid he hail given notice of his intention to move this amendment when the Report was brought up.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. HAWES said, although this proposition was new in form it wag not so in substance, for in the prison to which the Hon. Member himself devoted ED much time, Catholic priests were admitted to visit Ca thoiprisoners. A similar practice prevailed in Clerkenwell, and why should it not be general? It was inconsistent in Hon. Members oppo site, who would not allow a salary to be conferred on a Dissenting Minister or a Catholic Clergyman in cases were there was a sufficient number of pristine. .." to demand his whole time, because there was a pre vious clause providing . that if 50 persons were confined belonging to the Church of England, th e C . , ergyman should devote his whole time to them. Why should that not..be the case with respect to the Catholics. Lord SANDON opposed the a.. "nendmeat. He was surprised that the advocates of the Voluntary system: hould be the persons to advocate the payment of a salary from other persons to Catholic chaplains. Lord EBRINGTON said the question was .a most important one, and objectto affirm the . principle which it he hoped the House would not involved, but would provide for the spiritual instrtn: tion of those per sons who were in such a situation as to be unable to obtain it for themselves. Mr. DARBY should regret exceedingly t o see any lietsoll of the Roman Catholic persuasion, or any other creed, compelled to attend a place of worship, which they did not approve. But the question was, whether when Roman Catholic prisoners were in a gaol, the saCte prin. ciple was to be extended to them which was extended to those who - pro fessed the established religion ? Certainly this was introducing a great change, and ought to be maturely deliberated upon. The: question was, whether all persons of all creeds, were to be placed on the same footing as the members of the establishment. If so, they must provide as many chaplains as there were creeds under the sun.— (Laughter.) The Noble Lord, the Secretary of State for the Home Department had not consented to the introduction of the amendment, and it ought not to have been brought on in his absence. Mr. FOX MAULE said the Noble Lord was merely asked if he intended to introduce the clause, and he replied that he did not. That, however, would not have prevented the Noble Lord from sup porting it if introduced by another person; and had he been present, he (Mr. M.) had, no doubt, that he would have given his individual support to the proposition of the Hon. Member near him (Mr. Langdale). Mr. PALMER should vote against the motion, because he thought it would tend to militate against the Established Church. We shall give the conclusion in our SECOND EDITION. Yesterday morning, between one and two o'clock, as Mr. Wells, wine merchant, of Hunter-street, Brunswick-square, was walking arm-in-arm with a friend along the New-road, adjacent to Eus ton.square, on their return from the theatre, they perceived a suspici. ous.looking fellow walking some distance before them, and at length he turned down a thoroughfare, on passing by which they heard a whistle. and some one call out in a low tune of voice, " Here I am," on which a ruffianly looking fellow rushed upon them and made an attack, which rendered it necessary for Mr. Wells and his friend to make a spirited and determined resistance, which they did. Mr. Wells, who is a powerful young man, defended himself against the ruffian by whom they were at first assailed, and he knocked him down and inflicted upon him a severe drubbing. until he cried for mercy, and he then proceeded to the assist.. ance of his friend, and the other two escaped. They called for the police, and assistance soon arrived on tlitt spot, when they gave the fellow who first attacked them into custody, and he was taken to the station-house, where he was recognised as an old offender, and locked up. Yesterday he was taken to Hatton garden, dreadfully beaten, when Mr. Wells and his friend attended and identified him. The prisoner affected to cry, and denied the charge, saying that he was first attacked, but it being proved to the contrary, after a lengthened inquiry he was coin mitted. MILITARY FLOGGING.—Monday morning the r.;elings of the inhabitants of Woolwich were much pained by the shrieks of a )rarine named Barnet, who underwent the punishment of 150 lashes, int,:suant to the sent ence o f a garr i son court martial, for disorderly conduct and ether charge; The back of Barnet was dreadfully lacera ted from the heal.; falling of Vie sharp and wire-like catgut, for it is said that since the recluctiCn in number of the lashes the weapons have been made heavier and nun; effective.
